Have a PC, have a PS3 - What the hell is the point of the 360?

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"][QUOTE="3picuri3"] he's taking the quote from epic out of context anyways, i wouldn't take it too seriously. cows love to try to spin that quote, here's the full quote: '"I'm not the technical guy... all I know is that with the two to three more years of optimization that we've had, we're much further along than I think, three years ago, we thought we were going to get. So I think we're certainly approaching the upper end of it, as far as what developers are able to do with it, but just looking at all the demos we saw today -- ours and others -- it's clear that all the games just keep improving, and keep pushing that bar. I think it's just a matter of, you know, it's a slow cycle; you only get a kick at it every couple years, and so it takes a while for people to see that progress."'Thewbacca

Bleszinski went on to compare the Xbox 360 life cycle to that of the Super Nintendo console; graphics gradually increased in quality and just as it seems to reach its limit someone uses "ninja code tricks" to push more out of the system. "It's amazing what programmers can do. I wouldn't count our guys out yet," Cliff added.

Why is it that only the 360 has peaked? you're telling me that the Wii still has yet more to give?

It's obvious that you despise the 360 and that's why people will be taking your opinions with a grain of salt mate. No offence but you just sound like a die-hard cow!

[QUOTE="sireclaborn"][QUOTE="naydaslayer"]There isn't much of a reason to get a 360 after you have pc and ps3, but they have some exclusives that are only on the 360.Fumpa

And you're 100% lemming, with nothing else added. Who cares?

[QUOTE="Thewbacca"][QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] Not only that, but Cliff Bleszinski said, "[Rod Fergusson's] quote that was taken out of context," Bleszinski told Videogaming247. "I think we're pushing the 360, but the system's not going to get any more RAM, it's not going to get a faster processor, but at the same time that puts the impetus on our programmers and artists to be smarter with what they work with."

I have all of them a gaming rig, PS3 and a 360, and I play the PS3 the least. Some shooters I prefer on the 360 (convenience, controller, splitscreen) currently I am gaming on my PC the most immersed at my desk playing MMO and RTS.

[QUOTE="DAZZER7"][QUOTE="Thewbacca"]So, he's comparing a system of coding that had been working with a standard console, but was untried, and was thuis able to get more things out of it (Like the NES, the Playstation 2, etc.) to a system of coding that was ages old, and relies on new hardware to make it sparkle (the 360, which is based on PC coding, which we already know well enough). Whichever way you slice it, that system has peaked, while th other three still have better years ahead of them.Thewbacca

Sounds like your a juicy cow hiding behind your 'PC'.fenwickhotmail

[QUOTE="JKusanagi"]To the point of really needing to have a 360 having a PC and a PS3 of course not, but if you still have the money and time to explore yet another platform, go for the 360, that way you can focus only on playing the best games each has to offerThewbacca

[QUOTE="Thewbacca"][QUOTE="fenwickhotmail"]Sounds like your a juicy cow hiding behind your 'PC'.fenwickhotmail

um there are more AAA exclusives and AA exclusives for the 360 than the PS3 Halo 3, Forza 2, Gears of War 2, PDZ, Kameo, VIva Pinata Trouble in Paradise, Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, GRAW, DOA 4, Ninja Gaiden 2, PGR 3, PGR 4, Dead RIsing, Tales of Vesperia, Fable 2, Ace Combat 6, etc There are more than enough games on the 360.....throw in the fact that the 360 offers the PC gamers the best Online console gaming....and how multiplats usually have bigger communities on the 360, and more active in the long run as well.jg4xchamp

Titles out now PS3:MGS4,LBP,R2 360:Gears,Halo(meh imo),Fable 2

future exclusive titles: PS3:KZ2,Uncharted 2,Whiteknight Chronicles,GT5(W.E it comes),GOW3 360:Halo ODST,possible gears 3, & halo wars

other stuff PS3:Home 360:Netflix

That's my combo :P

Don't have the greatest PC though, but enough to run Left 4 Dead(Played it for 20 minutes and I've had it for a long time), Fallout 3 and Red Alert 3.

Best combo imo :P Don't see a reason to get a 360 tbh...

Lemmings and cows stand tall when it comes to the 'fact' that the PC is a dying platform.

Yet they will gladly hide behind it, and use its massive library of multiplats as ammunition against each other.:|

[QUOTE="locopatho"]Gotta love that argument. Lets combine a ~400 euro PS3, and ~1000 euro PC, and put them against the 360(200 euro). And 360 still has a load of good games not on either.thetruespin

pretty sure the combo this gen is PC / 360. there are still some great games on the 360 that you can't get on PC and vice-versa. all you need to do is look at a list of games to figure that one out.

the only reason i'd go PC / PS3 is if you're a huge MGS fan, or want LBP, or KZ2, etc. all comes down to personal preference at the end of the day.

I have a PS3 and am finally getting a new PC. However, it got me thinking. With games like Gears (and no doubt Gears 2 soon) & Mass Effect also available on the PC, and the PC having the best verrsion of games like Left4Dead, what is the point of the 360? Halo 3?

Surely best combo this gen is PC & PS3?

Cows still can't hold their own weight against lemmings and resort to the "but i have teh PC" remark.

Pathetic tbh

I have a 360 and a very high end PC - Why the heck do I need a PS3?

[QUOTE="naydaslayer"][QUOTE="Fumpa"]why get a ps3 if you have a 360 and a pc? im not going to throw stones and list what people perceive as faults in the ps3 or where the 360 is better than a ps3. both systems have exclusives. i can only assume that the reason you need a ps3 for this supposed "best combo" is because of the exclusives it has to offer. if you start listing of anything other than exclusives then consider what the 360 also has to offer outside of its exclusives. honestly though, if there is a "best combo" for this gen, and you all believe that the PC has a large number of the games already on the powerhouse consoles, then the obvious best combo this generation is PC|Wii, or 360|Wii, or PS3|Wii. silly topic.Fumpa

I don't hate the Wii. I like it, I'm just saying that it didn't have anything to do with this thread. I asked because you said the only reason to get a 360 is exclusives, which was exactly what I said. The reason to get a PS3 if you have a 360 and a PC is because alot of games that are "exclusive" with the 360 are also on the PC, whereas the PS3's aren't. I think this is because Microsoft generally designs software for CPUs, but I'm not sure.

So you have a PC, but... now you're getting one? Which is it?Stevo_the_gamer

We get that alot here, they love PC & PS3 but they aslo state how they're gonna upgrade or buy a gaming PC. I bet most who obviously hide behind the PC don't even own a high end gaming PC. I mean who loves PC gaming so much that they buy a Wii over upgrading their PC? I don't think they like the PC as much as they try to make us believe.

TC is actually saying that when you combine the PC and the PS3, you have the gaming equivalent of a 360. I actually agree and think he gave lems a major compliment by mistake.Senor_Kami

Well there is this little game called Halo 3, You might have heard of it.

Plus it plays old xbox games like KOTOR and JSRF :D

Those 3 things make it worth it alone

[QUOTE="Fumpa"][QUOTE="naydaslayer"]Did I not mention "exclusives" in my first post? BTW, why would you bring the Wii up into a thread where it is unwanted?naydaslayer

What's even funnier is people still play Halo3 whereas people stopped playing MGS4 2 weeks after it was released...
